If you love ravens, this is an episode for you. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

None of us like to use labels. We all feel that we do not fit into a box. But, we must use language in order to communicate. So we use labels, at least as a starting point. However, each of us may define those labels differently. Join me as I discuss the term "Pagan".  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

We are all one. There is no separation between us. Join me as I discuss this concept. My ramblings take on the idea of the "us versus them" worldview as well as judging others by our own standards. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

An introduction to Hermetic Qabala. What is the Qabala, or Tree of Life? What are the sepheroth? What are the three pillars? What is the lightning flash? What are the worlds? What are the triads? I briefly introduce these concepts in this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

The virtue of the QBL Sphere Malkuth (Kingdom) is discrimination; and its vices are inertia and avarice. Join me for a discussion of these concepts.

How does the concept of inertia work in magical thinking?   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

We all walk our path alone. It can be no other way.

This podcast is a new medium for me. I have done live talk radio. I have hosted prerecorded radio shows. I have created YouTube videos. But this is a new venue for me. I hope you enjoy it. In this very first podcast episode, I want you to get to know me a little better. I decidedly did not use even a "soft script" when creating this episode. I feel as though you can get a better feel for who I am in this way. Feel free to message me, please. Audio messages can be up to one minute long. I may use your message in future episodes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

Come along with me on an adventurous journey as we walk alongside The Fool of the Tarot. Witness his encounters with the powerful and mysterious Major Arcana and discover the profound lessons that he learns about life. Can we too learn from his experiences and grow along with him? Let's find out. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

Join me as I discuss etiquette within our community. These topics are drawn from my own experience and through discussions with others. There is no book on how we are expected to interact. However, there are some things I have noticed and witnessed, and discussed that seem to generally apply throughout our much-varied movement. In this episode, I talk about a few things to consider that may keep a new traveler in our circles from getting the "side eye" (so to speak). These are not presented as rules, simply thoughts, and observations. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message

We talk about balance. How does this idea play out in our community? Join me as I ponder and explore how balance and reciprocity affect us all in the community. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onyxraven/message
